Only a small percentage will become regular mappers and of that only a small percentage will become uber mappers. Certainly the planning for and running the event can positively impact those numbers. Something cause people to sign up for an event. Hopefully the people they meet and the satisfaction of mapping will appeal to them. BTW - I don't have the "right" script yet either. I just keep blindly trying! The bad thing is that even if you do have the perfect meeting, you don't know until much later if it worked. But Meetup also creates an awareness to OSM. People just looking for a group, will see our Meetups. They may not join, but they see OpenStreetMap. -- Clifford @osm_seattle OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
